Chapter 97: Chapter 97

Feeling the terrifying power radiating from the scroll, a sense of alarm rose in Du You’s heart.

"We’re in trouble, retreat quickly, Xiaozi." Du You roared. Xiaozi transformed into a streak of light, no longer attacking the scarred man, but flew towards Du You instead. Behind them, the scarred man laughed loudly as he tore open the scroll in his hand.

In an instant, a massive Fire Element formed a sphere, which was born in the scarred man’s hand and then began to spread. A terrifying explosion swept around incessantly, engulfing everything in its path.

Xiaozi was faster than the spread of the fireball. In an instant, she grabbed Du You’s shoulder and flew off towards the distance. The enormous force acted on Du You, causing his wounds to burst open. Even with his Elemental body, he couldn’t help the gush of fresh blood, intensifying his pain.

The ensuing wave of fire caused Du You’s entire body to burn, causing immense discomfort.

In the vicinity, countless bugs were instantly turned to ashes, and a large amount of bugs fled from the heat.

"Such a powerful spell, they even prepared a mutual destruction tactic. What a bunch of ruthless bandits." Du You instructed Xiaozi to put him down, feeling an increased pain in his shoulder.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out the throwing knife. Instantly, a large amount of black blood was brought out. The poison warning on his panel was constantly alerting him, telling Du You his current situation was not good. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩

Du You realized that he had been a bit arrogant. An experienced team was not something he could confront head-on.

It was only because they were too complacent and unaware of his tricks earlier. The combination of his curse and Xiaozi’s attack resulted in their heavy losses. Otherwise, if they had used various tactics from the beginning, it would not have been so easy for him.

Moreover, the final throwing knife was not a common attack. Combined with the mutual destruction scroll that turned a 50-meter radius into a sea of fire, Du You certainly wouldn’t have had an easy time if he hadn’t retreated fast enough.

Inside, there were no more movements. Du You saw the distressed Xiaozi and waved her back in.

"Damn it, this poison is really strong, even with my resistance and physical stature I don’t have a solution. If all fails, I would have to leave this world."

Upon leaving the world, the body would disintegrate into spirit energy particles and reassemble, eliminating all injuries and adverse states. As long as he had enough Crystal Coins, it would be fine. Although he didn’t have many white Crystal Coins, detoxifying wouldn’t be a problem.

"Let’s give it another try." Du You had an idea, suddenly released a Mucus Swamp, picked up the mucus and applied it onto his wound forcefully, "Fighting poison with poison, it can’t get any worse."

Du You had no choice, this was an unusual method he came up with. Actually, Du You was relying on his body’s resistance to toxins he conjured, or else this would be suicidal.

Sure enough, different toxins could neutralize and fight each other. As Du You kept rubbing it in, his black blood gradually started to redden, and his feeble body did not continue to deteriorate. Two minutes later, the poison warning on his panel disappeared, but his body still felt somewhat weak.

"With a Law Formalized body , such injuries wouldn’t matter as long as there is no poison."

Du You used the toxins he produced as potions, a method only he could think of. "It seems that next time I come here, I must prepare hemostatic and detoxifying medicines."

Du You thought silently. Earlier, under the effect of his curse, the thief had only thrown a knife in his direction. Even with his Emperor Crocodile Belt’s effect, it still had a strong impact.

Without such defensive measures, the knife might’ve pierced through his shoulder, without a chance for him to evade. The speed was too fast, even at a distance of 7 meters, it would still be hard to dodge.

It seems that there’s still a large deficiency on his part. His defense was lacking way far behind. Du You thought while bandaging his wounds. At this point, the fire was gradually dying out. After all, this place was quite damp. It wouldn’t be easy to start a big fire here.

Du You walked forward, finding that everything had disappeared. "Such a despicable man, he doesn’t leave anything behind even when he dies, what a grudge." Du You muttered.

When these people died, not only did their equipment disappear. The spatial bags they carried, and even the Wing Dragon eggs inside, disappeared without a trace, destroyed in the recent firestorm.

I wonder how this guy obtained such a powerful spell scroll.

Scarface had become fragments, nothing was left. The others weren’t in a better state either, leaving only things that looked like black charcoal. Perhaps they will be devoured by the insects here in no time.

Thinking of the bugs here, Du You shook his head: "Let’s leave first. My condition is still quite good, if I stay here for ten days at least I can make up for what I have spent." Du You’s white Crystal Coins had been all spent to deal with them. If he didn’t replenish them, what was the point of coming here?

As time passed, Du You felt his physical strength slowly recovering. The advantages of a Law Formalized body were evident, even after poisoning and injury, one could recover quickly.

Swiftly leaving the Highly Toxic Swamp behind, Du You did not head back the way he came, but went in an unknown direction. His next objective was not for the Wing Dragon eggs, but to hunt dinosaurs.

After moving a distance away, Du You finally summoned Xiaozi. Xiaozi squawked at Du You uncomfortably, twisting her body constantly. "Alright, there’s a stream ahead, go wash yourself. Honestly, even the Cursed Crow King doesn’t fuss as much as you do." Du You slapped Xiaozi’s head in annoyance.

Xiaozi, already impatient, flew towards the stream ahead.

As for the Cursed Crow King, it didn’t react as expected. After all, it was just a shaped creature, not a real one, it didn’t really feel anything on its body.

Feeling the gradual recovery of his strength and his own body’s stench, Du You thought he should take a bath too. Thinking about this, he hastened his pace. The Cursed Crow King was loyally flying in the air, guarding against all dangers. Now that’s a dutiful helper.
